Xiao Rui walked out from the crowd of officials. He walked at a moderate pace, his temperament calm and composed. Even Li Shimin's irritated heart calmed down a little.
He believed that Xiao Rui could give him hope, just like how he had beaten up the Chu Organization not long ago to save the Great Tang's face.
Li Shi Min and the others on the Martial Arts Practice Field knew that Xiao Rui had just made a name for himself, but those who weren't present didn't know that he was no longer the same person as before.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Xiao's good-for-nothing son?”
"It seems to be him. He has a good appearance and is indeed a hedonistic son. What a pity!”
"I heard that he committed all kinds of evil deeds, especially liked to enter gambling dens, and liked to flirt with innocent women!”
When Xiao Rui heard that, he was so shocked that he almost fell.
He had been waiting for the Calabash Brothers to appear for the past three days and hadn't searched for what kind of person Xiao Rui was.
Now that he heard everyone's evaluation of him, he wished he could give Xiao Rui a good beating. How embarrassing!
However, who was Xiao Rui? He was a man who could win the heart of the campus belle of Shen University in the 21st century just by bragging. He was so thick-skinned that he could even block a tank's bombardment.
Xiao Rui cupped his hands at an official. Was Little Red of Happy Red House very good at living? The night before yesterday, were you fast?| Live?"
Lord Li shut his mouth immediately. If he was living in the 21st century, he would have said this.
Society, society, we can't afford to offend you. Sorry for disturbing you!
The officials who had just criticized Xiao Rui in words and writing were all silent out of fear. They all made a difficult decision to avoid him in the future.
After all, who would dare to provoke such a big shot who was not afraid of losing face!
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiao Yu, who was standing in the front row, covered his forehead with a helpless expression.
Seeing that everyone was no longer arguing, Li Shimin hurriedly went to the main topic and asked,"What idea does Xiao Rui have?”
Xiao Rui didn't waste any words and spoke his thoughts.
"Throughout history, the Emperor is as outstanding as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. He would never abandon the capital and ignore the people.”
Although Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, he hoped that he could become a famous emperor in history like Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi.
Hearing that Xiao Rui had categorized him as one of them, he was very happy and looked at Xiao Rui with more admiration.
This Xiao Rui, no, this son-in-law of mine really knows how to talk. It makes people feel refreshed and free of worries!
Xiao Rui didn't understand why Li Shimin was smiling so strangely. He continued,"However, Lord Feng's advice is not without reason. The Emperor is the Emperor of the Great Tang, and his body is made of golden dragons. Since there was no way to retreat, it was impossible to succeed in defending. Then we can only…"
Xiao Rui walked to Fang Xuanling's side and cupped his hands.""I believe Lord Fang already has an idea, please enlighten me.”
Fang Xuanling looked at Xiao Rui in astonishment and said softly,""It's such a good opportunity to show off. Young Master Xiao, please tell everyone.”
Xiao Rui shook his head and deliberately said loudly,"Lord Fang, please enlighten me!"
Fang Xuanling smiled and gave Xiao Yu a meaningful look before stepping forward."Only by taking the initiative to attack can we have a chance of survival. Young Master Xiao is handsome and quick-witted.”
Li Shiming could see that the two of them were boasting about each other in business!
Xiao Rui could have been the first to offer up this plan, but he had given the opportunity to the head of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, Fang Xuanling.
However, Fang Xuanling was unwilling to take all the credit for himself. In the end, he used a rhetorical question and an affirmative tone to say that Xiao Rui had the same thoughts as him.
Seeing that the officials did not fight for credit, Li Shimin, as the emperor, was very gratified.
What made him feel the most inconceivable was that Xiao Rui was so young, but had the shrewdness of killing two birds with one stone.
Not only did he not let the credit for his wonderful plan be snatched away by others, but he also managed to build a good relationship with Fang Xuanling, the prime minister. His future was limitless.
Xiao Yu looked at his confident son and felt gratified.
My son has grown up!
Of course, there were not only voices of approval in the court. Feng Deyi and Chen Shuda stood up to oppose.
"Fang Xuanling, are you out of your mind?" Chen Shuda frowned. Jie Li Cavalry 200,000, we only have 30,000 soldiers, and only 5000 cavalrymen.”
Feng Deyi also snorted." Although the city of Chang 'an hasn't been built for eight years, it still has a defensive function. Perhaps it can be delayed until General Cheng Zhijie and General Li Jing come to the rescue. Wouldn't it be a waste to attack?"”
Fang Xuanling immediately retorted," Gaoling City was breached in an hour. It will take General Li Jing and the others at least ten days to return to help. Do you think Chang 'an can hold on for ten days?"”
"That's better than sending yourself to death!"
"Offense is the best defense. As long as we arrange it properly, we can definitely catch them off guard.”
Xiao Rui saw that there was going to be another dispute in the court, which would waste precious time to mobilize troops. He quickly said to Li Shimin,"Emperor, Minister of War Du's judgement is decisive and never wrong, why not listen to his thoughts?”
Like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui glanced at Xiao Rui and said,"Jie Li has strong troops but they have weaknesses. The Turks are made up of 18 tribes, and their hearts are not united. As long as we pretend to be a decoy, Jie Li will not dare to attack the city without knowing our actual situation. However, I haven't thought of how to use the decoy yet.”
Xiao Rui chuckled and gave a long speech, causing Du Ruhui to cheer.
